I can only review based on the baby room, so I m unfamiliar with what the previous reviewer was talking about. But as far as baby rooms go, this one is pretty great. My daughter previously went to one of the best daycares in Bloomington (and most expensive!!). But, only the best for her, as they say. Anyway, at the end of the day she seemed ready to go. Like she d had a nice, full day but that was that. Here I have to practically drag her away kicking and screaming! She just can t get enough. I really love that Mandy and Jess are completely child led. The day s activities are based on what the kids feel like doing, and everyday is an adventure. Lots of times the babies will mingle with the ECP classroom, or even bigger kids than that on the playground. Ani LOVES school. I will say that it is still fairly expensive (and in fact if she were to go for the same number of hours that she went to her previous school, it would actually be more expensive). However, we live in the US and that s the current state of affairs. I do really appreciate that they charge by the hour, so you can monitor what you ll end up paying each month and make it fit what you need. Mandy and Jess really do adore the kids and I am so happy to be able to send my girl there!

This is too important to not talk about: School officials close ranks to sweep student on student sexual assault incidents under the rug. I know for a fact of one incident. They won t tell you how many more incidents there might be. Two minor female students on a recent school field trip reported to a teacher during a trip that they were sexually assaulted by another student, an 18 year old male. There was almost a complete lack of supervision on the trip – 5 parents and 5 teachers chaperoned the trip, but they stayed in their own cabin, the kids stayed in their own coed cabins. The high school teacher, Sallyann Murphey, openly questioned whether the children were truthful instead of reporting the matter to CPS or the police as required. Harmony School s Executive Director, Steve Bonchek (Roc) defended the teacher s failure to act, and argued with the parents about what constitutes sexual assault. After being called to task about their response, school officials lawyered up and refused to discuss the incident with the families. I never expected Harmony to be like that – but beware – if they have to choose between self-preservation and the children, they will certainly choose to save themselves first.

I needed a late night rescue the night before Easter. Out of town visiting family and the Easter bunny a helper locked the keys in the car without getting all the goodies out of the car. After about 1 hour, Randy was to the rescue! He was able to quickly enter the vehicle and did a great job. No damage to the car at all. Great people! Honest, fair and trustworthy. If you need help- don t hesitate to call Randy. He will get the job done.

The first time I met this husband and wife team, they came to change my home locks. They are both so down to earth and reasonably priced. Randy even turned my deadbolts around since they had been put in with the key entry opposite of the door knob. The second time I needed them, I had locked my keys (car and house) inside and spare was in my locked car LOL They came quickly and got me in ASAP! Again, their pricing was very reasonable. I had called someone else by mistake and he first quoted me an outrageous price of twice the cost of Randy s. not cool. So glad I got a hold of them and will ALWAYS call them when I need an honest locksmith!!

I was running late one morning, I had the kids in the car buckled up and went to start my car (push button) and my car would not start. I had locked all of my keys in my home! Randy s Lock and Key arrived to my home within minutes and quickly got me into my home and on my way. They were friendly and very compassionate. Also very reasonably priced. They made sure that I was in-fact the owner of the home before working on my lock which made me feel safe as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone in need of a locksmith!!

I was on my way south on driving from NJ to Houston. I needed to rekey the doors as my key wasn t working. Gave them a call and they came and met me at the Walmart. They were quite nice, worked quick, and priced reasonably. Thanks guys!

LVI was great, everyone was friendly and professional. The service was quick, much cheaper than several other providers I looked into and best of all I went from being 20/200 to 20/10 in 2 weeks!!

I got LASIK yesterday and I love the results! Results will vary regardless of what institute/company you get it done at. The customer service here is phenomenal. All the staff members are very knowledgeable and friendly. They really care about your well being and the experience/satisfaction of your LASIK surgery. 10/10 would recommend this company.

I ll admit what drew me to the Lasik Eye Institute was their pricing. They are a quarter of what others are charge. However, one week post opp and I m at 20/20 in both eyes. The procedure itself was far more intense than I was expecting however it was completely painless. All of the staff were incredibly customer service oriented, very friendly, and completely professional. Dr. Brusco talked me through every step before, during, and after the procedure. Night time vision is still a little tougher but I m confident this will improve as I heal. My only regret is not going to the Lasik Eye Institute and having my LASIK surgery done much much sooner.

If I could tell any perspective LASIK patient any piece of advice, it would be to AVOID this company. Very disappointed in the customer service and organization. When you go into your consultation, they will run a bunch of tests, dilute your eyes, and then give you a quote for the procedure. Then, if you want to schedule the procedure you will need to pay a $100 refundable deposit to secure your date. Thankfully, I decided to go with a local LASIK surgeon instead of a national one. I called within 48 hours and cancelled my appointment. It s been a month and I have NOT received my refundable deposit back. Called the corporate office to speak to a customer service representative, only got to speak to a computer or an answering machine. It took at least 5 different attempts to actually talk to someone. Their excuse, our case manager has been out and we ve had company employees flying in from different cities so your refund never got processed. Sounds like a scam to me. Avoid this company all together and go with a local LASIK surgeon who will actually answer your phone calls/questions. I did and I will be so glad to be done with this awful company

It s been three days since my Custom LASIK surgery, and my eyes feel amazing! There s no more discomfort, and my vision is just a bit blurry. As my eyes continue to heal, my vision becomes clearer. I estimate that I ll have 20/20 in about a week. The office is clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. Every nurse/doctor/staff member I encountered was very friendly, but professional. I had no hesitation and full confidence that my surgery was being handled by well equipped professionals. Most of the time spent there was for surgery prep and paperwork. The surgery itself was very quick. There s definitely discomfort, dare I say pain (mostly from stretching open my eyelids), but it s over so quickly. LASIK is amazing! Even with my eyes still recovering, I m seeing so well. No more glasses, no more contact lenses. I ve never felt freer in my life.

I was being seen at the va beach location but had the PRK done at this location. Easy to get too and the people who work at both locations are super nice. However, I had to wait over 4 hours over my scheduled appointment time to be seen because they over boarded several appointments. Even tho.they were nice I won t be going back I don t have a 8 hrs to kill between drive time and to be seen on my scheduled appointment.

Do NOT go here! If you change your mind and need a refund, they ll keep your money for 4 – 6 weeks! So while you re waiting for your refund, they ll take there time while they earn interest on it. They don t care about you or your eyes. only about money.

I recently had LASIK done at the Forest Ave location in Richmond. It has been a great experience! The staff is helpful and very pleasant. I would highly recommend them! Ida
